In a brief ceremony at the Performing Arts Center March 18, Dawson County High School senior Ethan Smith formally accepted and signed a scholarship to play football as a defensive tackle with the Point University Hawks of West Point.
Smith played the bulk of his career at Dawson County on the defensive side of the football as he anchored one of the top defensive lines in the state and he played in the regional championship game and the state playoffs in all three years as a Tiger.
In his senior season Smith was given the opportunity to demonstrate his talent on the opposite side of the field as Head Coach Sid Maxwell moved him to the offensive line to bolster the team’s move to a rush-based offense.
